A marriage between a young and a much older individual. This disparity was called January and May by Chaucer, January standing for the hoary frosts of old age and May for the young breath of spring. In Chaucer’s The Merchant’s Tale the young girl, May, marries January,

December and May by the early 1600s (although January and May survived
as well). December, of course, is not only cold but also comes at the end of
the calendar year and so may provide a better analogy for late in life. “You
doe wrong to Time, enforcing May to embrace December,” wrote Thomas
Dekker (The Seven Deadly Sinnes of London, 1606).
